User Reviews

Users appreciate the good quality and continuous recording capability of the Rand McNally dash cams themselves. However, the accompanying Android app suffers from frequent crashing and connectivity problems, particularly on Samsung phones. Many report the app disconnects or closes when connecting to the dash cam WiFi, which also disables cellular data, rendering users without internet access. Due to these issues, accessing live feeds and stored videos is often impossible. Customer support has been unhelpful, leading to frustration and dissatisfaction among users.

Pros

App provides continuous recording of up to 5-minute segments throughout the day.
Rand McNally dash cams offer good video and picture quality.
Initial versions of the app worked well on some devices before issues arose.
Useful when it works, allowing connection between phone and dash cam for video transfer.
Camera itself is reliable and functions independently even if the app fails.

Cons

App frequently crashes or force closes, especially on Samsung devices.
Connectivity issues: app often fails to connect or maintain connection to the dash cam's WiFi.
The app disables cellular data when connected to the dash cam's WiFi, leading to loss of internet access on phone.
Users face difficulties viewing live feeds or accessing stored videos within the app.
Customer support is unresponsive or ineffective in resolving app-related issues.

Recent reviews

After a few months of this app working perfectly, I suddenly had problems with the app crashing every time I connected to the dashcam. I'm super happy to announce that a new update finally came, and the app no longer crashes! Rand McNally has a long history of providing navigational aids for drivers. Updating their maps in the 1980s is just as important to them as updating dashcam software in the 2020s. Thank you! I'm happy to change my review to FIVE STARS!

Yes you can download but it's not very fast and to try and watch the video streaming it buffers every 5 seconds for 20 seconds. Also, instead of just letting you decide where to store data and downloads it stores internally then you have to move it to you external memory or it will fill up the internal. App definitely needs help.
